My dear uncle Archie....... time has kept us apart, but it can't erase the memories I have of you in my heart. Fly with the angles.....

I've been thinking for over a week of the perfect comment to make about Archie. But Archie's life said it better than a few words ever could: Jesus loves us. And Archie had so much of Jesus in him, that you could feel it when he walked into a room.

He knew the truth and he wanted everyone to know it. He held nothing back, giving his whole life to the one who gave His life for him. ("Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13).

I think about that emotional scene with Matt Damon at the end of the movie "Saving Private Ryan." He's at the graves of those soldiers who gave their lives to make sure he could live and make it back home from the war. And as he's crying, he says something like, "Tell me I've lead a good life. That they didn't die in vain. That the way I lived my life made their sacrifice worth it."

Many people know that Jesus died for their sins. And died to give us life. But Archie UNDERSTOOD the cost of the blood that Jesus shed for him. He wanted every part of his life to show how appreciative he was for His sacrifice.

And the best appreciation is to live a life well lived. To give it to the Lord completely. To tell people the truth about how to be saved from the clutches of hell. Even if it makes you unpopular.

And God made it so simple. All we have to do is believe that Jesus died for us. Personally. So that we could repent of our sins and live for Him.

That life that Archie lived for his Lord and Savior says more about Him than I ever could. And it also says a lot about Jesus.

But I will add one thing: Every time we had prayer requests at our church Archie always said, "And pray for our unsaved loved ones. That they may know the Lord."

He loved his family so much! And he wanted to give the best gift ever. But he knew it wasn't his to give...that you had to accept the most perfect gift of Jesus's sacrifice for yourselves.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Linda, I am truly sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and Al, and your family.

I would first like to express my most sincere sympathies to Archie's entire family.....Mary and Mike, Linda and Al, Archie Jr. and his huge gaggle of grandkids and great-grandkids. As a member of Archie's "Canadian family", we too are feeling the loss of a simply wonderful man. We lost our father far too early but could not have been happier when Mom met and married Archie. He liked to call her his "little baby" to which she would smile and giggle like a little schoolgirl. Their mutual love for each other was tangible and inspiring.
I feel privileged to have know Archie and to have had him in my life these past 18 years. I will miss him terribly but am happy that he is now at peace and probably walking 3 miles a day again but this time by Jesus's side.
All our love
Tom, Laurie (Jean's daughter), Danielle, Karly & Erica

I want to express my deepest sympathy to Linda, Mary, Arch Jr., and your families. Archie was such a good and Godly man - he lived out his faith daily and never compromised his principles. Two things I admired most about him were how easily and boldly he shared his faith in Jesus Christ and how much he loved and cared for Jean - a wonderful example of selfless love! We love you Archie and are so happy you are enjoying your new and eternal home in Heaven now! You will be missed but we will see you again!

I saw my dad as a seed sower. Often wearing his John 3:16 hat asking people where ever he went if they knew Jesus. I love that about him.
Dad also liked to talk about food and the importance of eating right and exercising.
Honey in green tea, on top of cereal, bread or anything else that needed a bit of sweetening up. The more fiber the better and yes eat your vegetables. Spreading them around your plate to make it look like you ate some or hiding the peas in the living room chair was definitely frowned upon. Olive oil is a must everyday. If there was not a salad to put it on top of or a meal to cook it into then he would measure out 2 Tablespoons and drink it straight each day. When asked why he would say "it oils the system." And one can't forget there's no snacking in between meals.
He would walk 3 miles a day and do 200 push ups each morning. When my sister and brothers were young he would often do them with us on his back.
Sweets at a minimum but one cookie (maybe 2) with tea after a meal is ok and I have heard from a very good source that ice-cream at night makes a good bed time snack!
He lived what he preached and I love that too.
Miss you dad,
Mary

Archie my deepest sympathy to you and your family

This is Johnny. I may have been around 13 years old at the time of this occurrence. I have one memory of walking with grandpa along the bug line trail where he used to walk quite regularly. He would always park his big green car near the intersection of Menomonee Avenue and Main Street and then walk along the gravel path to the Lannon Quarry and back again. As I recall, it was a beautiful day--the sunshine was coming through the leaves as we walked along the shady path. I believe I felt a sense of security and satisfaction proceeding from grandpa's presence, causing me to also feel secure, satisfied, and just very happy to be by my grandpa's side.
